To me 15K is huge. I'm living in the city I've ever lived in and there's around 6K IIRC. And we're over an hour away from the next cities either west or east from here. This place for have a McDonald's and a small Walmart.
In my childhood years I remember the population being in the hundreds in the two places we lived in. It was an hour drive just to get to the grocery store in the first town.
